I will be running the Guernsey Fathers Day half Marathon in June in memory of my father who I lost to Cancer in 2015. I am hoping to raise funds in aid of colon cancer research and support.

Oxford Colon Cancer Trust is a very practical charity. Our bye line is “making new treatments happen”. Whilst national high profile charities fund work on how cancer cells go wrong, OCCTOPUS has a more immediate focus.Originally formed in 2003 it aims to fund practical advances in treatment, education and research in these areas - the 3 “C’s” Colorectal cancer, Colitis and Crohns, and Continence. We help the colorectal team at the Oxford University Hospitals keep right up to date with and even ahead of advances in tools and techniques.
